Quebec City, QC -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/30/2015 -- LeddarTech provides a new detection and ranging technology enabling collision avoidance solutions in industrial environments. Using Leddar, advanced presence detection and perimeter monitoring systems can be developed and installed on heavy machinery and large vehicles, contributing to preventing accidents in the workplace and on the roads.
The specific challenge is the integration of cost-effective detection sensors to warn drivers when an obstacle is present in the vehicle's path, preventing collisions due to blind spots, inattention, or distraction. The optimal solution has the capacity to predict a collision based on the vehicle and object trajectories to warn only when there is an actual risk of collision. The selected sensor for such applications needs to operate day and night in all weather conditions, including rain, fog, and snow and to withstand harsh environments such as mining sites, construction zones, or agricultural settings.
